A northern Indiana judge has recused himself from the Abby Williams and Liberty German murder case. The Indiana Supreme Court is in the process of appointing Allen County Superior Court Judge Fran Gull as special judge in the case after Carroll Circuit Court Judge Benjamin Diener’s recusal according to a spokesman for the Supreme Court.
Diener approved a request from Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby to transfer the suspect Richard Allen to the Indiana Department of Corrections for safety reasons. Allen is being held on $20 million bond. 50 year old Allen was arrested one week ago on two murder counts in the killings of 14-year-old Liberty 13 year old Abigail Williams in the case.
